William Warde Fowler Explained

William Warde Fowler (16 May 1847  - 15 June 1921) was an English historian and ornithologist, and tutor at Lincoln College, Oxford.^[1] He was best known for his works on ancient Roman religion.^[2]

Among his most influential works was The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic (1899). H. H. Scullard, in the introduction to his 1981 book on a similar topic, singled out Fowler's book as a particularly valuable resource despite its age, writing, "I have not been so presumptuous as to attempt to provide an alternative."^[3]
